I have been working in an architect office for a month now and they have AutoCAD 2002. I am a programmer and 3D modeler on 3DS Maya and SoftImage. I have to say I don't understand how a company dare to sell such a deficient software that is AutoCAD. It maybe doing some calculation right but that's all. For the rest it is a source of errors I could not believe. This is one of the most dysfunctional apps in computer graphics I have met since a long time. Guys who are working with it I really am sorry for you.

Which could relate to the second law of thermodynamics which can be summarized as "you can't get something for nothing." The world wouldn't be In such a snarl If Marx had been Groucho Instead of Karl. Thank you.
As you are stating by yourself, you are a programmer. Your programs and 3DS Maya and SoftImage are totally bug free? That would be new. If you would be on the floor, your experience may be different. Fancy images with crazy colors do not create buildings. People working with Autocad do. Jan
